The simians (infraorder Simiiformes) are the "higher primates" very common to most people: the monkeys and the apes, including humans. Simians tend to be larger than the "lower primates" or prosimians.

Simian are an English electro-rock band, best-known for their song "La Breeze", which was featured in the Peugeot 1007 commercial. The members are Simon William Lord, James Ellis Ford, Alex MacNaghten & James Anthony Shaw. Their second album "We Are Your Friends" was produced by the legendary Brian Eno.
